    I share a name with some wuss-rock musician, and once went to see myself play at Johnny D's Uptown in Somerville, MA. I do not rock.

    No one. Though I'm the first person to come up when I google my last name, so I guess I'm the most famous one. Ha! (Not saying much, I believe there are 4 of us).

    Apparantly some almost award-winning bass fisherman...that cheated..."On the boater side, David R.. of Rome, Ga., brought in a five-bass limit weighing 14 pounds, 13 ounces, to apparently claim first place. Tournament officials then told reporters that R.. had been disqualified because of a major rules violation that did not involve cheating in the catching of his fish. R.. reportedly had violated boat/motor regulations, which resulted in the disqualification."
    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

    I really should read posts more thoroughly. At first glance I came away understanding that only 4 people share her last name. I thought it odd, so I asked. Now that I've read it I'm understanding that there are only 4 results to the google of her name.

    doh.

    Well, Odin already nailed the "how to Google" portion...


    Yes, only four other people share my last name, as far as I know. Nothing else has ever come up on Google, and my aunt did a lot of geneaology research on it.



    But, my great-great grandfather made up the name at Ellis Island. Originally it was something Dutch and long and unpronounceable to the average person.

    And then they just didn't have many kids, and more girls than boys, etc. and now it's me, my sister, mom, dad, and my aunt So my sister and I will be the last generation.

    edit: there's always the possiblity that there's someone with that name in another country that wouldn't be searchable online. But nothing I've ever seen.

    No one has my name, either. I think there are only a handful of people with my last name in the country. The rest are still in the Prague area...but none of them show up on Google.

    That's it!

    I'm changing my name from Steve Clark to Steve Rootskier.

    or is it Rutskiuer?

    Okay. I'm not crazy. That's a cool, yet sad story. Hopefully you'll be able to pass the family name on in some mannor. Son's middle name or something. You're in a rather unique position.

    I used someone else's Social Security number until I was 20 years old. It was on my driver's license and everything (when states still did that). I didn't know until I called the phone company to get a line installed in my apartment and they said, oh, sure, Mr. So-and-so. Nope, not me- so I went and dug up my Social Security card; sure enough, I was wrong- not even close, actually. I didn't have any credit cards or anything, no credit history at all, so I don't think I screwed anything up, but who the hell knows. Other than that guy, obviously.

    Yeah, but I'm definitely not interested in having kids. And my sister has lupus and isn't supposed to (it would be a major health risk) - she and her husband talked about adopting, but after working as a pediatric nurse, she's seemed to have changed her mind on that (guess she gets her fill of being around children). So yeah, kindof sad, but it happens. My mom's side of the family is good sized though.

    Gosh, I am so sorry, Mr. Ruitskeier! Please let me know if there's anything I can do to make it up to you.

    By the way, do you have the January 2000 issue of Porcupine Lover lying around?
